Breaking news: '90s trends are back! Just kidding, they've been back for a while now, but they're not slowing down and I couldn't be happier. One of the newest, most exciting '90s comebacks just debuted – it's the Laura Ashley x Urban Outfitters collab, and break out your platform shoes because you're gonna want to wear these clothes ASAP.

If you're thinking, "Wait, isn't Laura Ashley a home brand?" You're right. Laura Ashley is an interior design brand know for its beautifully busy floral textiles and prints. The company is still around and popular, but many millennials would say it had its heyday in the '90s. At least, that's when my generation most coveted having Laura Ashley bedding to go with your Laura Ashley wallpaper to match your Laura Ashley stationery. Bonus points if you also had Laura Ashley curtains.

One of the prints that Laura Ashley has come to be known for is its ditsy florals. You may not have heard that term before but a ditsy print is the name for a pattern where the (usually) flowers are particularly tiny and scattered throughout the textile in no particular order. It's an interesting print because it has become a somewhat preppy choice for home goods, while also representing a more '90s grunge fashion style. What do you get when you combine those two aesthetics, though? A collaboration with Urban Outfitters that will make you swoon.
